This is a much smaller than average-sized primary school. The number of pupils attending the school has fallen since the previous inspection. Most pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported at school action is broadly average. The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is also broadly average. A small number of pupils are supported by the pupil premium which is additional government funding provided to give extra support to those pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and to children who are looked after. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Since 1 September 2011, the school has been a member of the Holsworthy Federation, which now includes three other primary schools and Holsworthy Community College. A single governing body serves all the schools in the federation. The school is led by the executive headteacher who has oversight of all the schools in the federation. A Head of Teaching and Learning has recently been appointed. She is based at Bradford Primary School, one of the other schools in the federation, and fulfils a one day each week leadership role at Pyworthy school. The school has two classes, each taught by two part-time teachers. Children in the early years provision attend full time. They are included alongside Year 2 pupils in a combined Reception and Key Stage 1 class. Currently, there are no Year 1 pupils in the school. Pupils in Years 3 to 6 are taught in the second class. The school has experienced significant changes in leadership since the previous inspection.
